Stephen Houlahan, a new voice for Santee City Council

I am compelled to serve – not for personal gain, but to protect my hometown city that I love. Santee has changed drastically during my lifetime. In many ways progress has been positive. We have added quality housing, a Town Center and river parks while largely maintaining views of our golden hills with a small town setting.

Recently however, high-density development has accelerated without including traffic solutions.

Today, Santee is at a crossroads. We must decide whether to maintain our friendly small town setting or succumb to unbalanced high-density development of our scenic views. El Cajon-style density does not belong in Santee!

I pledge to protect the community of Santee from over-development without adequate infrastructure. New, homegrown, non-conflicted leadership is required to provide a check and balance to a status-quo that would allow overpopulation, traffic, crime, and the loss of our community values.

I will use my MBA to ensure the city maintains a sound fiscally conservative foundation. I grew up in Santee. I’m raising a family here. Like most of you, my wife and I must drive over SR-52. I pledge that our residents will come before the profits of “out-of-town” corporate developers.
